With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start

your own workout program to tone and firm the major muscle groups of

your lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or fitness

level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is toning, health

maintenance, or more energy for daily activities.

Proper exercise, including a low fat diet, strength training and aerobic

exercise, tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand,

walk, lift and turn. It can actually transform our body composition by

reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in

our bodies. Using the Recumbent Bike will help in reducing body

fat and increasing cardiovascular endurance.

Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully.

It is the authoritative source of information about your Recumbent Bike.
